PhD in Agricultural Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2013) with research experience in agro-environmental chemistry, soil science, and agricultural chemistry.

Her research spans various topics, participating in multiple interdisciplinary projects with collaborators from both Spanish and international institutions.

She has contributed to research projects on:
Soil chemistry and heavy metals: Examining the effects of metals such as Zn and Cu on agricultural ecosystems by analyzing their bioavailability, mobility, leaching, residual effects, and relative efficacy of various compounds, including chelates, organic complexes, synthetic compounds, and nanoparticles.
Combined Zn-N fertilization: Investigating strategies to enhance crop yield and quality while optimizing nitrogen use.

Nanoparticles and advanced materials: Conducting agro-environmental assessments of innovative technologies such as nanoparticles and silica aerogels for controlled micronutrient release, aimed at improving nutrient delivery and reducing the environmental impacts of conventional fertilizers.

Advanced recycling technologies: Evaluating the agro-environmental impact of applying extracts obtained from mining and electronic waste in soil-water-plant-atmosphere systems, promoting circular economy strategies.

She has also collaborated on other interdisciplinary projects exploring the role of cover crops in reducing nitrate leaching, improving nutrient use efficiency and soil quality, as well as the absorption and toxicity of metals from metal mixtures in both aquatic and terrestrial systems.
